Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 171 Chess Game
In order to save everyone in the Mohist Mechanical City, Tianming accepted the suggestion of the trapped Gongshu Chou and went into the water to open the Xuanwu water valve to purify the water in the city that had been contaminated by Liusha's poison "Zhenyu Qianye".

But at the same time when the Xuanwu water valve was opened, the Xuanwu defense system, which is the power core of the entire Mohist Mechanical City, was activated, and multiple chain weapons on its back attacked Tianming who was trying to return to the surface.

Tianming had difficulty moving in the water and was entangled by the basalt chains and dragged into the deeper parts of the water.

Just when the oxygen in his body was exhausted and he lost consciousness, the Yin-Yang Curse should have taken effect and helped him escape from the danger, but the curse not only did not take effect at all, but seemed to be suppressed and dissipated.

Another stronger force erupted from the unconscious Tianming's body, and Shengyao remained calm.

With the help of the mechanical snake, Gongshu Chou escaped from the cell with the unconscious Yue'er. When he was about to leave, he suddenly felt the mechanical snake floating on the water shaking, and out of curiosity he looked towards the water surface.

However, the river, which was originally flowing slowly, became restless due to the holy energy at the bottom of the river. Then a golden holy energy rushed out from under the water and shot straight into the sky, causing golden auspicious clouds to appear in the sky, as if there was a response from heaven.

This beam of light also attracted the curiosity of the Yin-Yang School's right protector "Moon God", who was ordered to explore the Mohist Mechanical City, and he came in this direction.

At the same time, far away in Lingnan, the King of Han, Cheng Qiao, who was in charge of supervising the construction of the second half of the Lingqu Canal, seemed to be inspired. He suddenly stopped his work, looked in the direction of the Mohist Mechanical City, and said to himself: "Finally awakened. Donghuang Taiyi, I really want to know your expression when you found out that someone had interfered with the chess game you had painstakingly arranged."

After saying this, he continued to look at the documents in his hand and arranged matters concerning the construction of the Lingqu Canal.

In the Mo family's mechanical city, Gongshu Chou, who was standing on the mechanical snake, saw the light suddenly dissipate and a column of water surge up. It was Tianming who broke free from Xuanwu, jumped out of the water, and landed on the mechanical snake.

Looking at the surprised Gongshu Chou and the unconscious Gao Yue, Tianming asked, "What happened to Yue'er?"

Realizing that the strange vision was caused by the person in front of him, and that her demeanor and temperament were obviously different from when she went into the water before, Gongshu Chou felt fearful and at the same time, he pretended to be kind and said, "The little girl choked on some water when she came out of the water just now and passed out." At the same time, he secretly approached Tianming who was checking on Gao Yue's condition, intending to attack him with the mechanical hand made of domineering mechanical magic.

Just when the mechanical hand was about to hit Tianming's head, the holy energy in Tianming's body spontaneously protected his body. A golden air shield flowed through his body, blocking Gongshu Chou's mechanical hand.

Before Gongshu Chou could react, a deep and magnetic voice came out of Tianming's mouth, "The sneak attack was not yours."

Tianming turned around and slapped Gongshu Chou away with his powerful internal energy.

After making sure there were no more threats around, Tianming picked up Gao Yue and brought him back to the shore to settle him down. Then he smashed the huge, unmanned mechanical snake that was suspended on the water surface into pieces with one palm.

"Tianming, you are so powerful." It turned out that because Tianming opened the Xuanwu water valve, Xiang Shaoyu, who also escaped from the Mohist forbidden area, found this place in search of the two people who acted separately in the Mohist forbidden area.

Tianming saw that it was Xiang Shaoyu who came, so he instructed him: "Shaoyu, the poison gas surrounding the Mo family mechanical city has been resolved. The Mo family will start to fight back soon. I will go to support them. You stay here to protect Yue'er."

Before Xiang Shaoyu could answer, he disappeared from his sight.

"It's strange, how come Tianming seems like a different person after just a short while? He doesn't even care about his favorite Yue'er." But Xiang Shaoyu did not have time to think about it, because the Qin soldiers who invaded the Mechanical City would search here soon. He had to protect Gao Yue and find a safe place, and then find a way to reunite with his uncle (Xiang Liang) and others.

Unexpectedly, just after Xiang Shaoyu and Gao Yue, who had just woken up, repelled a small group of Qin troops, they happened to run into the Moon Goddess who was attracted by the holy light emitted by Tianming.

The Moon Goddess sensed Gao Yue, who had the bloodline of the Yin-Yang family, and defeated Xiang Shaoyu. She unexpectedly saw the key to unlocking the "Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon", the Fantasy Sound Box, which fell from Gao Yue's arms.

Thinking of Donghuang Taiyi's prediction that she would gain something when he instructed her to go to the Mo family mechanical city, she immediately realized that Gao Yue and the Magic Sound Box were the purpose of this trip, and kidnapped Gao Yue and the Magic Sound Box together. Although Xiang Shaoyu struggled to get up and wanted to save Gao Yue, she was no match for the Moon God who was proficient in Yin-Yang magic, and was knocked unconscious by the Moon God with a flick of his finger.

Gao Yue was ultimately unable to escape the power of fate and was taken back to the Yin-Yang family by the Moon Goddess.

On the other side, Dao Zhi, one of the leaders of the Mohist school, overcame numerous obstacles and used his superb lightness skill "Lightning Step" to break through the siege of the "Liusha" people and escape from the Mohist mechanical city. He wanted to ask for help from Yan Dan, the Mohist leader, and the heroes from various schools of thought who were rushing back.

But Bai Feng, who was ranked first among the Four Heavenly Kings of Quicksand and also had extraordinary Qinggong skills, found it difficult to escape.

The two chased each other in the woods outside the Mechanical City, but after a fight, there was still no progress, which greatly slowed down Dao Zhi's speed.

If the news cannot be delivered to the giants and heroes of various schools of thought in time, they will suffer heavy losses as they are unprepared.

But not only is Bai Feng's lightness skill not inferior to his own, his martial arts skills are far superior to his. He is very lucky to have been able to hold out against him until now without being defeated.

Just when Dao Zhi was extremely anxious, a huge palm energy suddenly came from the sky, and the target was Bai Feng.

Bai Feng, who was fighting with Dao Zhi, noticed it immediately and stepped forward to fight back, but was unable to withstand the extremely powerful palm force and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Knowing that he was no match for the enemy, Bai Feng made a prompt decision to give up the mission of pursuing Dao Zhi and returned to Wei Zhuang.

Seeing Bai Feng leaving, Dao Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he was about to go and inform Juzi and others, but he saw a flash of light in the direction of the palm strike before, and then a burly golden figure appeared. It was the person who had helped to repel Bai Feng before.

The visitor pointed to a certain direction and said, "Go in this direction and you will see the person you want to see. But be careful, the Yin Yang Family's Mu Minister is here to save you."

"Thank you very much." While speaking, Dao Zhi was surprised at the identity of the visitor and used his extraordinary eyesight as the "number one thief in the world" to observe and see the true appearance of the visitor.

But seeing that this person was surrounded by golden light, no matter how hard Dao Zhi tried, he could not break it. In addition, the situation was urgent, so he had to give up. After thanking him again, he walked towards the direction pointed by the golden figure.

Everything was just as that person said. Shao Siming of the Yin-Yang School was lying in ambush on this road and killed any disciple of the Mohist School who wanted to report the news.

Fortunately, Dao Zhi had been reminded and was prepared, and he dodged the high-level Yin-Yang technique "Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow" in which thousands of leaves were fired at once, each one sharp and aggressive. Then the leader of the Mohist school arrived and fought him off.

Inside the Mechanical City, the poison gas has been dissipated. The recovered Gai Nie steps forward at the critical moment and engages in a decisive battle with his junior brother Wei Zhuang. This move also resolves the misunderstanding of Gai Nie among the Mohist people.

During the confrontation, Bai Feng suddenly appeared and tried to attack Gai Nie, but Duan Mu Rong blocked Bai Feng's attack to protect Gai Nie, and was seriously injured and unconscious. Then the black unicorn of "Liusha" pretended to be Tian Ming and stabbed Gai Nie in the back when he was not prepared, injuring him.

Even so, the injured Gai Nie still fought with Wei Zhuang. During the fight, Wei Zhuang, who had learned the horizontal sword technique, actually used the same supreme skill of the vertical sword technique as Gai Nie - the Hundred-Step Flying Sword, but was blocked by Gai Nie, who stabbed Yuanhong into Wei Zhuang's left shoulder.

However, Gai Nie's Yuanhong was caught by Wei Zhuang's shark teeth and broke, but Gai Nie still used the broken sword to point at Wei Zhuang's throat.

Just when Gai Nie was unable to bear to take action due to his relationship with his fellow apprentice and was attacked by Wei Zhuang with a sword, a holy weapon emitting dazzling light arrived, and the huge force instantly repelled Wei Zhuang, thus freeing the Sword Saint from the siege.
